VALLEJO, November 22d.-The French
flagship Duquesne was safely taken into
the stone dock this morning The vessel
drew about twenty-six feet of water, but
no difficulty was experienced in docking,
there being plenty of depth of water. The
docking was under the immediate super
vision of Constructor joseph Feaster, as
sisted by Captain J. B. Coghlan. The
success of the docking was very gratifying
to the yard authorities. 1t is thought it
will result in much benefit to the yard.
The entire cost of docking will be borne
by this Government as an act of courtesy
toward friendly nation. Two workmen
were injured during the docking. Bart.
Sweeney had his right leg broken above
the ankle, and Harry Bruce was severely
cut across the right arm. The accident was
caused by the breaking of gypsy-head to
